<> ||<>|| This week's Hug Day will focus on '''[[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Community/GrubHowto|Grub]]'''! The goal of today's bug day will be to make a user's system boot without intervention and make many people's first impression of Ubuntu '''rock'''! Here we have a sampling of bugs to work on for Hug Day. After you have triaged or fixed a bug put your name in the last column and set the row's background to green by adding '''lightgreen''' in the first cell of the column after "background-color:" and before ";". This will let people know that the bug in that row has been hugged. == 5-a-day-ing == During hug days you can also do [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day|5-A-Day]] for this one you can do the following in order to tag your work on the hug day: * 5-a-day --add-tag hugday-20080807 * Add bugs to 5-a-day as usual * And when done with hug day run: 5-a-day --remove-tag hugday-20080807 == Stock Responses == Need info: {{{ Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. * did you still get this situation ? * if so, would you like to attach your /boot/grub/menu.lst file This will help us to find and resolve the problem. }}} Old: {{{ Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
